:,( this shit is even sadder when listening to smooth jazz.

sometimes I wonder how i live pretending that people this miserable dont exist.

Honestly, as bad as this shit was, I'm glad I grew up poor. I'm resilient, I can stretch a buck, I appreciate what I have. Oh, and I can FIGHT.

If I type much more I might cry

> that feel when not enough ghetto stories ITT

>live in some shitty town near north London from '05 to '08
>10+ bodies found in lake next to the park where we all used to drink, I forget the actual number
>a month after I moved from that shithole, house next to mine was broken into, neighbour stabbed to death
>got jumped so much while I was there

So glad I moved away. remember all that shit about riots in London? I'm fairly sure I recognized some pictures in the paper as people from that town.

My next-door neighbour was shot and killed with a sawn off shotgun as part of a bikie gang killing. Started a minor gang war which ended in another 2 people dead. My neighbourhood isn't that ghetto, so it's not that serious compared to other people's stories, but I was home when it happened, and I heard the gunshot.

>Be white, wellspoken, working class.

>that feel when niggers throw fireworks into your classroom when you were at secondary school and your mum gives you shit for getting shit grades

>that feel when you have a middle-class mentality but you are living in a shithole with crackheads and scummy chavs everywhere

I don't see a lot of violence, but there have been several stabbings/shootings down my street. Also I wouldn't say that we're "ghetto poor" but we sure as hell aren't higher than working class.

Oh hey, my partner used to live in Brixton with his parents. The worst I ever got there was being scammed by 'homeless people'. I live in the Shepherd's Bush kind of area, which isn't quite so bad.

>that feel when every night you hear teens being loud and obnoxious on their tiny fake motorbikes and stolen cars

lol probably. What's it like actually living in the city? Only ever lives in the countryside and suburbs with the occasional visit to the local cities.

>Be 8
>First time in the city
>Me and brother think it's cool to act black and do hand signs
>Parents freaking out, "omg don't do anything with your hands someone might hoot us there's gangsters here!"
>Look out the window
>See a fat black prostitute looking in a pulled over car

We went to the local mcdonalds and half the people there were black, was like I was in a whole different country. Worst of all the guy was wearing a blue hoodie and blue sweatpants so not sure if a gangbanger.

I have one more story when I was in the city recently if you're interested, might provide you some lulz.

>Grow up in nice neighborhood, living with poor mother
>Not extremely poor ourselves, but have a lot less than everyone else
>Mother lives off child support and money she gets from oddjobs
>Doesn't have any kind of insurance, one of her teeth fall out
>Me and my brother supported by father's insurance
>Move around a lot

Meh

i wish i could afford heroin, or any drug for that matter

how do homeless people in rich countries afford to buy it is beyond me

>Be about 7.
>Mum is single parent, four young kids, broke as fuck.

>Can hear the druggies throwing things around downstairs.
>My mother finally breaks the door open.
>The druggies run away, taking everything of worth.
>My mother goes downstairs.
>Hear her begin crying.
>They killed our dog.

We were fucking poor. We had nothing. My mother tried her hardest to scrape together what little she has to give to her children.

I fucking hate thieves.

>London riots this summer

I have never told this to a single person in my entire life. I don't even care if you don't believe me.

This is about as bad as it gets for me:

>waiting for a bus at a train station
>20ish looking girl asks me if I have some change
>Tell her "No" in a harsher tone than I expected. I do have change and I usually give a little if people ask for it.
>She asks me if I can get some change and I tell her "No" again

Still not sure why I fobbed her off like that. I think maybe it was her whiney manner.

>Wake up
>Take the trash out
>I look out the window a couple minutes later
>Homeless guy is rummaging through my trash

Happened just a few minutes ago

>visiting Toronto, Canada for Winter holidays
>freezing cold
>walk in the city, go a little bit "off the track"
>suddenly turn in a street
>dozens of people lying in line, on the sidewalk, completely drugged
WTF Canada ?

>At a bus station in Cleveland waiting for my bus home
>Talking to a group of Amish who are waiting for the same bus
>Stereotypical nigger walks in with his pants down to his knees
>The Amish start laughing their asses off as he walks by

Even the Amish think they look ridiculous.

>>770250
>>Stereotypical nigger walks in with his pants down to his knees
Can I ask why ? Was he like, taking a piss ?

>>770257

That's just how they wear it in America. Most of the time it's worse than the what the picture shows.

>>770268
Oh, wow ! Ridiculous, indeed.

>>770276

You seriously never seen this kind of stuff before?

Holy shit what fucking fag

These fine gentlemen are just proud of their underwear. Nothing wrong with that.

I live in the Bronx, NY.

I grew up here, but about 12 years ago we moved from a relatively nice neighborhood to this one due to spacing issues (my mother had more kids out of wedlock because she thought that would keep my father around. it did, for a while).

Now, here I am, still living at home in this dreadful economy, where every time I walk home if there isn't a police officer walking up the block I'm scared of getting robbed or raped.

Luckily the guys have sort of gotten used to me ignoring their catcalls so they don't bother as much anymore, but this girl next door was gang-raped and became pregnant because of it.

I've only been attacked once here, and luckily I had been taking boxing at the time. He never bothered me again, after the shame of being stomped into the ground by a girl. I think he's in jail now, though. A lot of boys from around this neighborhood end up there.

It's really sad.

Brixton
Peckham
Tottenham
Towerhamlets
Walthamstow
Stretham
Newham

to name a few

I don't really live in the ghetto, but close by. If anyone's from South Philadelphia then you know that just crossing a small street puts you in a completely different neighborhood. It's almost like the city was divided up by a treaty or some shit.

Anyway, here's a mild story
>live across the street from some crazy bitch, everyone calls her Crazy Carol
>she stands outside her drug den every single day whenever she isn't sleeping or getting high
>constantly yells at people who walk by and tries to debate them
>when she inevitably loses the argument she screams and yells, pisses herself and throws beer bottles

It's not really a great story, but coming home every day to see a crazy lady peeing on her step and yelling at people is kinda funny I guess.

>>770315
Ever thought about getting a gun?

carrypermitblox

>>770331
OMG, I got neary the same (without drugs). We used to call her Marie Cochettes (=Marie Socks, because she was always wearing high, ugly socks).

She was like 60 and was always sitting at her door, taking a piss, from time to time, on the sidewalk in front of everybody

There's a albino black woman with downs who lives in the council estate opposite me who used to rip up two loaves of bread every day and feed pigeons while talking to them. She also shit herself on a bus next to me once, that was unpleasant.

>>770331
Just remembered another one.

>April Fools day, maybe 2003-04, 13-14 years old

>I tell him to fuck off and turn around to walk back towards my neighborhood
>on the phone with my girlfriend the whole time, telling her about these niggers when I think they're not near me

>suddenly the smallest UPS guy of all time gets out of his truck and starts yelling at them
